to the next conversation.
Documented construction work, clearer project stories and a faster path from the service a visitor needs to a conversation with the team.

- Minden and the Carson Valley
Wake Construction's portfolio includes custom homes, kitchens, commercial spaces and demanding structural work. The rebuild gives that record a clearer hierarchy: services, project stories, client testimonials and homeowner information, supported by practical technical illustrations and a direct consultation path.
Live on Seppies. Production captures and the final three-run mobile and desktop measurements were recorded after the November 4, 2026 cutover.

Before cutover · Previous production website
The maintained WordPress website at https://wakeconstruction.com, captured November 3, 2026. It shows the site as maintained at that date, rather than a reconstruction of its original launch.

Keep the
source trail.
The record distinguishes the previous website, the selected design and the production rollout.
Current production files and databases, together with the supplied source, are retained privately. File modification times and database dates do not independently establish a public launch date or authorship.
- Before cutover
The actual maintained website
Matched desktop and phone captures, together with dated raw lab observations, document the public website as maintained at the capture date.
- Selected design preview
Design and inquiry handling
The selected design was carried into a separate production build with retained inquiries, customer-facing copy and a full hostname and indexing check.
- November 4, 2026
The production cutover
The production domain now serves the new Seppies build. Dated captures and normal production lab observations followed the hostname, certificate, indexing and legacy URL checks. Historical inquiry reconciliation is a separate retained record.
02 / What we built
The system
behind the screen.
Explain the difficult work.
Architectural illustrations help a visitor understand foundations, house lifting, structural framing and finish craftsmanship alongside the actual project photography.
Keep the consultation close.
A short consultation modal and a full project inquiry give visitors useful entry points. Accepted submissions are saved in a private inbox before the website acknowledges them.
Carry the old addresses forward.
The retained legacy URL table maps earlier project, article and archive addresses to their intended destinations or explicit retired responses. Search and inquiry measurement have a new production record.
03 / Retained speed evidence
Measure the change. Keep the context.

Read the test method and its limits
Lighthouse 13.0.1 and Chrome 151 from the same pinned Sitespeed 42.6.0-plus1 image on Eggbox. Fresh Chrome processes, standard simulated mobile and desktop presets, 2 CPUs and 4 GiB memory. Three samples per version and device. Before and design-preview observations were interleaved; final production-after observations followed the public cutovers and are separately dated. Medians and ranges are retained.
- These are lab results for the exact pages and dates tested, not field Core Web Vitals, sales or search-ranking outcomes.
- Preview indexing protection is intentional. Preview SEO scores do not represent production indexability.
- The old site's anti-crawler gate blocked earlier attempts. A temporary single-IP test allowance was used for the matched page-rendering series and then removed; original blocked attempts and the verified restoration receipt are retained.
- The old-site and production-after series were recorded separately on November 4, 2026. The same pinned collector, presets, hardware and limits were used. The preview result remains a separate version.
- Before, preview and final production are different recorded phases. Final production includes its normal analytics. Launch-day analytics also includes operator and laboratory visits and does not establish business growth.
